A large vintage Lullubhal Amichand hammered aluminium cooking bowl with ornate hand-tooled patterns of paisley and flowers, signed by the maker MG Solanki. It is 12 cm high and over 25cm in diameter and in good vintage condition. 
 
We have used this beautiful handmade piece as a planter for our first scented geraniums 'Citronella' which are planted in individual terracotta pots and then placed in the planter. Scented Geranium 'Citronella' is an upright, evergreen, tender perennial with deeply cut, crinkled and serrated, soft green leaves. Strongly scented, the pretty leaves exude a delicious, sharp citrus scent when bruised and is perfect for summer evenings and outdoor patios to discourage mozzies.
 
All our plants are accompanied with detailed care instructions and packed up carefully in compostable recycled boxes packed with straw and shipped with an overnight courier service.
 
Our potted plants make lovely sustainable gifts as nothing is single use or thrown away - the bowl can be used for multiple purposes and the individual pots  can be re- planted outdoors or into a bigger pots if necessary. Each pot comes with a personalised gift card and the option of our Cambridge Imprint wrapping paper and vintage velvet ribbon.
